THE  CHILE  CLUB 
* '  Everybody  had  a  good  time. ' ' 

When  on  Saturdays  the  sun  reaches  its  meridian  height  and 
begins  the  long  descent  down  the  Western  slope,  the  scattered  mem- 
bers of  the  Chile  Club  thankfully  close  their  desks  and  one  by  one 
repair  to  the  hospitable  Tavern  opposite  the  site  of  the  ancient  city 
prison  of  Boston.  Here  is  the  heart  of  old  historic  Boston.  In  this 
old  prison  Capt.  Kidd  and  the  Witches,  as  well  as  Quakers  and 
other  misdemeanants  and  malefactors  were  confined  by  the  Colony 
and  Province.  As  the  members  of  the  Chile  Club  pass  the  old 
prison  site  they  may  well  recall  the  reference  to  the  rosebush  at 
the  beginning  of  the  "Scarlet  Letter,"  the  rose  growing  wild  by 
the  side  of  the  grim  portal,  that  sprang,  as  tradition  said,  from  the 
footsteps  of  the  Sainted  Ann  Hutchinson  as  she  entered  the  old 
prison,  and  may  well  have  caught  the  eyes  of  Hester  Prynne  as 
she  in  turn  passed  within.  From  our  windows  we  look  down  on 
the  site  of  the  **Bell  in  Hand"  dating  from  1796;  across  Court  St. 
Franklin's  early  years  were  passed  in  his  brother's  printing  office 
on  the  narrow  alley,  now  Franklin  Avenue;  on  the  corner  below 
at  Washington  St.,  across  from  the  Old  State  House,  the  first  Presi- 
dent of  Harvard  once  lived ;  the  first  Boston  Hotel  was  at  the  foot 
of  Pi  Alley;  we  are  on  the  edge  of  Scollay  Square,  the  Hub  of 
Boston,  whence  nine  streets  radiate ;  we  are  on  the  first  lot  of  land 
allotted  to  Boston's  first  settler,  and  every  foot  has  its  story  of 
interest  and  charm. 

An  even  dozen  is  the  Club's  limit  of  membership;  it  has  no 
dues ;  there  is  but  a  single  dish  of  importance  served  at  its  meals ; 
its  offices  are  held  for  life ;  it  meets  weekly  without  notice  or  form ; 
it  places  no  limit  on  debate;  from  the  decision  of  its  President 
there  is  no  appeal  (whence  he  is  often  called  the  "Autocrat") ;  its 
only  requirement  of  its  members  is  congeniality. 


The  Club  grew  naturally  out  of  congenial  associations  together, 
particularly  with  John  Henry  Westfall,  U.  S.  N.,  when  on  Saturday 
afternoons  he  drew  his  friends  together  for  a  few  hours  social  in- 
tercourse. He  was  retired  on  pension,  having  been  injured  in  the 
great  typhoon  disaster  at  Samoa  in  1889,  when  the  U.  S.  S.  Trenton 
was  wrecked  with  several  German  war  ships.  Later,  in  1916,  called 
into  active  service  as  Commandant  of  the  Naval  Coaling  Station 
at  East  Lamoine,  Maine,  our  comrade  Westfall  won  a  com- 
mission as  Lieutenant,  Senior  grade,  U.  S.  N.,  for  unremitting 
loyal  work.  He  died  in  the  service,  January,  1919.  To  his  mem- 
ory a  standing  toast  is  drunk  (in  ginger  ale)  at  every  meeting  and 
one  also  to  the  memory  of  Raymond  Chamberlin  (an  Honorary 
member)  who  was  killed  in  battle  in  France.  Their  portraits  hang 
on  the  wall  before  us  as  we  pledge  ourselves  to  keep  their  memory 
green.  Under  their  inspiration  the  Club  has  adopted  the  following 
for  its  guiding  principle :  *  *  Grasp  the  truth  of  the  great  law,  that 
you  will  find  your  own  life,  only  in  losing  it  in  the  service  of  others ; 
that  the  more  of  your  life  you  so  give,  the  fuller  and  the  richer,  the 
greater  and  the  grander,  the  more  beautiful  and  the  more  happy, 
your  own  life  will  be." 

The  name  had  its  birth  in  the  many  interesting  discussions  on 
South  American  conditions  induced  by  a  recent  enthusiastic  visit 
to  the  West  Coast  by  a  Club  member,  and  the  fact  that  there  ap- 
peared to  be  no  organization  existing  in  Boston  having  particular 
interest  in  that  portion  of  the  World. 

The  Club  having  often  met  in  the  ** Chile  Corner"  of  the  old 
hotel  (so-called  because  daily  occupied  at  lunch  by  several  Direc- 
tors of  the  Chile  Copper  Company,  as  well  as  in  recognition  of  the 
superabundant  draughts  circulating  there)  assumed  the  name  of 
the  Chile  Club  with  the  avowed  purpose  of  encouraging  closer  and 
more  cordial  relations  with  Chile  and  other  South  American  Re- 
publics, particularly  in  literary  matters,  and  to  provide  a  conve- 
nient center  for  the  entertainment  of  future  hoped-for  South 
American  guests.  For  a  short  time  the  Club  often  met  at  the  old 
"Bromfield  Inn"  and  a  guest  from  San  Jose,  California,  S.  C. 
Houghton,  (author  of  "In  the  Path  of  the  Persian"),  honored  the 
Club  with  the  following  poem : 


"Blest  the  calm  hour,  of  the  full  day  most  sweet, 
When,  freed  from  racking  toil  and  bustling  street, 
I  join  my  comrade  in  the  saint-shunned  inn, 
And  genial  minds,  hearts,  hands,  eyes,  glasses  meet. 

Vain  the  pursuit  of  shadows,  without  end! 
Seek  thy  congenial  and  convivial  friend, 

And  in  the  grimy  tavern's  farthest  nook, 
Your  hopes,  your  sorrows  and  your  follies  blend." 

The  Autocrat,  as  President,  presides  at  the  long  table  with  the 
Financial  Editor  at  the  opposite  end  as  Perpetual  Vice  President. 
On  the  right  of  the  Autocrat  sit  the  Translator,  the  Editor,  the 
African  Chief,  the  Captain,  and  the  Advertising  Man,  while  on  his 
left  are  the  Professor,  the  Poet,  the  Mining  Engineer  and  the  Man- 
ufacturer, a  happy  and  most  congenial  group,  unselfish,  free  from 
envy,  seeking  only  the  good  of  each  other,  and  quick  to  lend  a 
helping  hand  when  occasion  calls — either  to  one  another  or  to  any 
good  cause. 

It  was  at  the  expense  of  the  Club  (they  attending  in  a  body) 
that  Lieut.  Westfall  was  brought  from  Maine  to  Camp  Devens  in 
1918  to  deliver  his  famous  patriotic  lecture  on  the  disaster  at 
Samoa,  showing  clearly  how  the  wrecking  of  the  German  Warships 
ruined  forever  the  German  Kaiser's  dream  of  a  Pacific  Empire. 
The  Red  Cross  during  the  war  profited  from  the  Club's  activities 
and  in  countless  ways  its  members  showed  their  unswerving  loyal- 
ty to  the  Flag. 

A  pleasing  custom  of  the  Club  that  might  well  be  adopted  by 
many  older  and  larger  bodies,  is  to  present  every  guest  on  his  de- 
parture with  one  of  the  Club  brochures.  This  has  been  the  lifelong 
custom  of  the  Autocrat  with  his  own  home  guests,  in  his  case  the 
souvenir  being  almost  invariably  some  edition  of  Omar. 

There  is  no  room  in  the  Club  for  Bolshevists,  Anarchists,  Paci- 
fists, pro-Germans  or  Sinn  Feiners.  The  members  are  chosen  for 
their  personal  attraction  for  each  other,  regardless  of  religion, 
politics,  ancestry,  wealth  or  other  like  perfectly  immaterial  non- 
essentials. All  the  members  are  also  active  members  of  the  Omar 
Khayyam  Club  of  America. 


PEN  PORTRAITS 

The  Autocrat  is  the  President  of  the  Club  for  life.  A  corpora- 
tion lawyer,  lover  of  flowers  and  books,  connected  with  large  enter- 
prises, active  in  Masonry,  being  a  Past  Grand  High  Priest  of 
Massachusetts,  member  of  many  Masonic  and  other  secret  fraternal 
societies.  Past  Grand  Officer  of  three  of  them  and  past  presiding 
officer  of  several  others,  member  of  several  patriotic  societies  and 
Past  President  of  three  of  them,  Past  President  or  other  officer  of 
numerous  social,  college  and  library  organizations  and  business  cor- 
porations, he  delights  in  the  friendships  of  the  little  Club  and  never 
willingly  misses  a  meeting.  His  hobby  is  collecting  rare  editions  of 
Omar  Khayyam,  three  editions  of  which  have  been  dedicated  to  him 
(at  Worcester,  Mass.,  San  Antonio,  Texas,  and  Buenos  Ayres,  Argen- 
tina). He  is  a  dreamer  and  optimist  and  believes  the  best  of  every 
one.  The  Club  at  a  recent  meeting  rose  in  revolt  against  the  benefi- 
cent rule  of  the  Autocrat,  presenting  him  (on  his  64th  birthday)  the 
following : 

*' Declaration  of  Independence. 

"When  in  the  course  of  Human  Events,  it  becomes  necessary 
for  a  number  of  people  to  dissolve  the  political  bonds  which  have 
connected  them  with  another  person  and  to  assume  among  their 
fellows  upon  earth  the  separate  and  equal  station  to  which  the  laws 
of  Nature  and  Nature's  Qod  entitle  them,  a  decent  respect  for  the 
opinions  of  Mankind  requires  that  they  should  declare  the  causes 
which  impel  them  to  the  separation. 

"We  hold  these  truths  to  be  self-evident — that  all  men  are 
created  equal ;  that  they  are  endowed  by  their  Creator  with  certain 
inalienable  rights;  that  among  these  are  life,  liberty,  and  the  pur- 
suit of  happiness;  that  to  secure  these  rights,  governments  are 
instituted  among  men,  deriving  their  just  powers  from  the  consent 
of  the  governed;  that  whenever  any  form  of  government  becomes 
destructive  of  these  ends  it  is  the  right  of  the  people  to  alter,  or 
abolish  it  and  to  substitute  new  government ;  laying  its  foundations 
on  such  principles  and  organizing  its  powers  in  such  form,  as  to 
them  shall  seem  most  likely  to  effectuate  their  safety  and  happiness. 
Prudence,  indeed,  will  dictate  that  governments  long  established

should  not  be  changed  for  light  and  transient  causes,  and  accord- 
ingly all  experience  hath  shown  that  Mankind  are  more  disposed 
to  suffer,  than  to  right  themselves  by  abolishing  the  forms  to  which 
they  are  accustomed.  But  when  a  long  train  of  abuses,  and  usur- 
pations, pursuing  invariably  the  same  object,  evinces  a  design  to 
reduce  them  under  absolute  despotism,  it  is  their  right,  it  is  their 
duty  (once  in  every  64  years)  to  throw  off  such  government  and  to 
provide  new  guards  for  their  future  security. 

*  *  The  History  of  the  present  President  of  the  Chile  Club  is  the 
hiistory  of  repeated  injuries  and  usurpations  all  having  in  direct 
object  the  establishment  of  an  absolute  tyranny  over  us. 

"To  prove  this  let  facts  be  submitted  to  a  candid  world. 

*  *  He  has  refused  to  allow  us  to  do  as  we  pleased. 

"He  has  refused  to  Dole  the  right  even  to  have  salt  in  his 
butter. 

"He  compels  Charlie  Grinnell  to  smoke  cigars  and  to  pass  'em 
around  to  the  great  disgust  and  detriment  of  the  members. 

"He  has  forbidden  any  other  member  than  himself  to  bring 
anything  into  our  meetings. 

"Whenever  Thompson  and  Dole  and  Lanman  and  Crandon 
want  to  properly  tip  the  waiters  by  handing  them  $10  or  $15  each 
he  forbids  it  with  scornful  mien.  For  them  are  no  African  palms 
stretched  out  in  eager  expectancy.  Their  money  is  not  current  in- 
side the  precincts  of  Mrs.  Youngs. 

"His  acts  have  been  acts  of  constant  tyranny. 

"We,  therefore,  representatives  of  the  Chile  Club,  in  general 
Congress  assembled  announce  our  right  to  rebel  from  his  tyranny 
and,  once  in  every  64  years  to  throw  off  for  15  minutes  the  heavy 
yoke  of  his  tyranny  and  declare  for  that  space  of  time  we  are  and 
of  a  right  ought  to  be  free  and  independent  individuals.  That  for 
the  space  of  15  minutes  the  relations  between  us  are  dissolved. 

"In  token  of  our  independence,  we  hand  you,  our  Autocr;. 
this  emblem  of  our  thirst  for  freedom,  and  of  our  indissoluble 
union."     ("This"  being  a  silver  loving  cup.) 


The  Translator  and  the  Poet  are  alike  in  that  both  have  trans- 
lated the  Rubaiyat  of  Omar  Khayyam  from  the  original  Persian; 
and  both  have  published  many  different  editions.    One  has  a  Multi- 


variorum,  a  Latin  and  also  a  Greek  Edition  to  his  credit ;  the  ' '  Rose 
Garden ' '  of  the  other  has  shown  old  Omar  in  most  friendly  pleasing 
guise. 

Our  Translator  is  a  lawyer,  and  he  is  also  President  of  the 
Shakespeare  Society,  Bohemian  Club  and  the  Players'  Club,  all  of 
Worcester,  and  Past  President  of  various  other  societies.  He  has 
issued  many  exquisite  miniature  and  f  ac-simile  editions  of  FitzGer- 
ald's  translation  of  the  Rubaiy&t  of  Omar  Khayydm,  distributing 
without  price  thousands  of  copies  to  lovers  of  Omar.  Generous, 
scholarly  and  most  companionable,  he  is  one  of  the  Club 's  treasures 
— dearly  beloved — in  spite  of  the  fact  that  he  was  for  three  years 
a  member  of  the  Massachusetts  Legislature. 

The  Club  book  "Twenty  Years  of  the  Omar  Khayyam  Club  of 
America ' '  is  most  appropriately  dedicated  to  him.  The  dedication 
reads 

Dedicated  to 
Eben  Francis  Thompson 
founder  of  The  Omar  Khayyam  Club  of  America,  its 
Secretary  for  twenty  years  and  now  its  President ;  law- 
yer, wit,  prince  of  good  fellows,  Shakespearean  scholar, 
lover  of  antique  art,  poet,  author,  and  first  translator 
from  the  original  Persian  of  the  complete  quatrains  of 
Omar  Khayyam — 

''Though  creeds  some  two  and 

seventy  there  be, 
The  first  of  creeds,  I  hold, 
is  love  of  thee. ' ' 


The  Poet  has  published  more  books  of  original  poetry,  more 
editions  of  Omar  and  translations  from  various  languages  for 
commercial  sale  than  any  other  member  of  the  Club  and  ranks  as 
one  of  the  great  successful  authors  of  Boston.  A  witty  raconteur, 
quick  mentally  as  a  flash  of  lightning,  he  can,  and  usually  does, 
keep  a  large  tableful  in  a  roar  by  his  stories  and  tales.  Therefore 
the  Chile  Club  never  has  a  dull  meeting  when  he  is  present.  Is  it 
any  wonder  he  is  so  sought  after  by  the  Women's  Clubs?  We 
who  know  him  best  love  his  cheerfulness  of  spirit,  the  soul  of  Youth 
Eternal. 


The  Professor  is  loved  by  everybody ;  Corresponding  Honorary 
Member  of  many  of  the  world 's  greatest  Societies  of  Scholars,  holder 
of  Honorary  degrees,  Past  President  at  two  different  times  of  the 
American  Oriental  Society  of  which  he  was  a  founder,  he  is  now 
President  of  the  Omar  Khayyam  Club  of  America.  He  is  so  ac- 
curate in  his  Oriental  Scholarship  (being  Professor  of  Sanscrit  of 
our  greatest  University) ;  he  is  so  painstaking  in  his  edition  of  the 
colossal  Oriental  Series  planned  to  give  the  West  the  vast  and 
almost  unknown  treasures  of  the  East  and  already  reaching  thirty 
magnificent  volumes;  he  is  so  interested  in  everything  good  and 
clean  and  human ;  he  is  so  generous  and  thoughtful  in  his  courtesies 
of  daily  life,  that  he  has  won  the  hearts  of  us  all,  and  we  glory  in 
him  as  a  man  while  we  marvel  at  his  wonderful  erudition. 


The  Editor  is  the  Dean  of  all,  reserved,  considerate,  marvel- 
ously  well  read,  a  writer  who  charms  the  multitude  with  the 
delicacy  and  beauty  of  his  nature  descriptions,  for  he  loves  the 
birds  and  flowers,  and  better  yet,  knows  them  intimately.  His 
editions  of  poems  and  nature  writings  are  masterpieces  of  English 
and  once  caused  a  great  New  England  college  to  offer  him  the 
degree  of  LIT.  D.,  an  offer  that  was  not  accepted.  The  black 
shadow  of  the  Great  War  rests  heavily  upon  him,  however,  for  his 
only  son  lies  under  the  poppies  on  some  fiercely  contested  battle- 
field in  France.  A  great  sympathetic  soul  in  a  frail  body,  in  the 
most  laborious  of  professions,  his  compensation  comes  from  the  ap- 
preciation of  his  friends  who  love  him  and  his  gentle  ways  with  an 
enduring  love. 


The  African  Chief  is  a  title  proudly  borne  by  one  whose  mas- 
sive figure  won  for  him  the  lasting  regard  of  a  proud  old  tribal 
head  in  Central  Africa,  the  offer  of  a  chieftaincy  carrying  with  it 
houses,  cattle,  and  many  wives.  That  the  offer  was  not  accepted 
is  the  gain  of  the  Club,  for  this  lawyer  member  is  most  loved  and 
honored. 


The  Advertising  man  is  really  an  artist  by  nature,  having  been 
a  skilful  wood  engraver  in  his  youth.  Usually  a  good  listener, 
when  he  does  talk  it  is  to  the  purpose,  and  commands  instant  and 
compelling  attention,  for  he  is  a  student  of  men  and  therefore  ac- 
curate. Keen  eyed,  generous  to  a  fault,  a  loyal  friend,  highly  hon- 
orable of  soul,  he  gives  the  Club  full  measure  of  return  for  the 
many  benefits  he  claims  that  he  receives  from  it. 


The  Financial  Editor,  the  Perpetual  Vice  President  of  the 
Club,  having  worked  through  all  the  various  positions  on  a  great 
newspaper  to  the  headship  of  his  department  in  his  youth,  now 
looks  back  over  thirty-six  years  of  proud  and  highly  responsible 
position  with  keen  satisfaction  over  work  well  and  honorably  done. 
An  ideal  presiding  oflBcer,  he  has  made  his  place  in  Masonic  history 
as  a  Past  Grand  Master  of  the  Grand  Council  of  Massachusetts, 
and  as  a  graceful  and  thoughtful  writer  on  Masonic  subjects.  He 
has  also  served  as  President  of  several  patriotic  societies  with  ex- 
ceeding credit.  Seldom  a  meeting  that  some  question  does  not  arise 
to  display  his  wide  and  catholic  reading,  and  his  Mayflower- 
descended  patriotism  and  humanity.  No  one  knows  him  who  does 
not  both  honor  and  love  him,  for  he  is  one  who  has  given  his  whole 
life  to  his  family  without  a  thought  of  self. 


The  Manufacturer  is  a  quiet  man,  a  good  listener,  always, 
however,  intensely  interested.  He  prefers  to  accomplish  matters 
through  suggestion  which  he  does  most  successfully.  Graduating 
into  manufacturing  on  his  own  account  he  has  been  fortunate,  and 
his  generous  heart  attests  the  rare  quality  of  the  man.  A  natural 
executive,  he  is  one  of  the  most  valued  members  of  the  Club.  It 
is  no  wonder  that  he  meets  all  the  Club  on  congenial  ground,  with 
that  unselfish  thoughtfulness  that  is  the  foundation  of  the  Club. 
A  trained  business  man,  schooled  by  necessity,  he  meets  scholars 
and  dreamers  as  equals  and  makes  them  his  lifelong  friends 
through  his  honesty  of  purpose  and  strength  of  character. 


The  Captain  and  the  Mining  Engineer  are  the  youngest  of  the 
members,  are  brothers-in-law  and  both  served  in  the  Great  War, 
the  Captain  as  District  Property  Officer  of  the  largest  Ordnance 
District  in  the  Country,  responsible  for  hundreds  of  millions  of 
dollars  in  contracts ;  the  Engineer  going  to  France  as  the  youngest 
officer  in  the  famous  Mining  Regiment — rising  from  Private  to  First 
Lieutenant.  The  Captain  was  five  times  recommended  for  promo- 
tion for  efficiency  and  ability ;  the  Mining  Engineer  returned  with 
a  Regimental  citation  for  bravery  under  fire  and  promotion  to  a 
captaincy  in  the  Reserve.  The  qualities  that  won  them  recogni- 
tion during  the  stress  of  war  are  those  that  appeal  to  the  Club  and 
give  high  promise  of  future  success. 

Therefore  from  these  analyses  it  appears  that  the  keynote  of 
the  Club  is  love;  that  strong  affection  men  have  for  each  other 
when  they  appreciate  the  strength  of  others  and  delight  in  the  con- 
tinued evidences  of  true  friendship.  The  members  take  constant 
pleasure  in  making  presents  to  each  other,  a  commendable  custom 
in  any  club.  Scarcely  a  meeting  passes  without  some  example  of 
this  pretty  custom. 

Just  as  the  track  of  birds  that  cleave  the  air 
Is  not  discovered,  nor  yet  the  path  of  fish 
That  skim  the  water,  so  the  course  of  those 
Who  do  good  actions  is  not  always  seen. 

— Mahabharata. 

Each  and  every  member  has  a  strong  regard  and  affection  for 
each  and  all  the  others.  Therefore  the  little  Club  flourishes  in  the 
fertile  soil  of  old  Boston.  Above  all  things,  the  Chile  Club  does 
things  differently;  for  example,  it  is  the  long  established  custom 
of  Chile  Club  members,  delightful  in  its  observance,  on  their  birth- 
days to  give  presents  to  all  the  other  club  members — instead  of 
receiving  presents  from  them.  For  it  is  always  more  pleasant  to 
give  than  to  receive. 

'  *  O  Comrades !  when  ye  meet  as  ye  agree 

Ye  needs  must  pledge  your  friend  in  memory ; 

And  when,  O  Saki,  on  thy  joyous  round 
My  time  shall  come,  turn  down  a  glass  for  me ! " 

— Omar  Khayyam,  Trans,  by  E.  F.  Thompson. 


LINES  FOR  THE  BIRTHDAY  OF  CHARLES  DANA 
BURRAGE 


A  Spirit  all  compact  of  generosity, 

Of  light  and  joy,  of  kindness,  sense  and  courage. 
Who  shows  to  meanness  only,  animosity — 

This  in  a  score  of  words  is  our  Friend  Burrage ! 

But  it  would  take  a  volume  to  portray  him 

As  Prince  of  Good  Will  and  of  Hospitality, 

As  Master  of  light  Fairies  that  obey  him 
In  the  gay  service  of  his  Principality ! 

"We  love  him!" — all  agree  on  that,  I  predicate! 

"Here's  to  his  Health!"    (in  nectar  which  he 
furnishes!) 
Our  lives  to  his  ideals  we  gladly  dedicate 

And  burnish  up  our  wits  as  his  he  burnishes ! 

' '  Here 's  to  his  Health ! ' '    And  may  this  joyous  Festival 
Have  many  like  ones!  (Drink  like  this  encourages!) 

Let  each  successor  be  the  very  best  of  all ! 

We  swear  there 's  only  one  such  Man  as  Burrage  is !
